Adding search keywords to a page

Question

Hi,

I have a confluence page with an embedded spreadsheet (/table spreadsheet).

I want to be able to display this page as a search result when any content inside the excel is used as a search term. Currently it displays the attachment in the search result which can be confusing. Is there any way to do this ?

Hey,

That was what I was initially thinking but with the huge number of columns its just not an option. The readers would be super confused.

So, the work around I found was to use /table properties macro and select the "hidden" checkbox and inside the macro, paste the whole spreadsheet. This would then cause the page to be displayed as a search result.

Hi @Thejwal Pavithran ,

As for now, there is no any workaround, I'm afraid.

If you need to search within your tables, you may use native Confluence tables wrapped in the Table Toolbox macro. Inside the macro you'll be able to create different sequences of other macros (Table Filter, Pivot Table, Table Transformer for filtration, aggregation and calculations).

Is there any workaround you could think of ? perhaps adding the spreadsheet as a regular table and hiding it so users dont have to see the same spreadsheet twice ?? I tried quite a few things without success
